Hans Castorp visits his cousin in a sanatorium in Davos and stays for seven years.
This is a book about a man who goes to a Swiss sanatorium for a visit and stays for seven years. The pacing is intentionally strange. It mimics the way time warps for the patients. It is full of philosophical debates about illness, time, and death. It is a hypnotic listen. It requires patience, but it creates a unique, isolated world that you sink into.
